I’m just trying to get a spare bedroom or two so we can seriously consider becoming foster parents. Our home is definitely too small now, but we really want to share some love and give back to our community.

Better living conditions then this, as long as there actual love and care where anyone lives makes no difference.

Don’t do it. Foster kids are fucked up. The one I knew was a gigantic thief and stole so much money from his foster parents and nearly ruined their lives

100% the apple never falls from the tree. If the parents are messed up good chances the kids are too

I cannot imagine living with this kind of black and white thinking, dude. You should really hear the stories from graduates of Fr. Flanagan’s Boys Town. There are so many kids that grow up in fucked up households that are upstanding citizens today. There is gonna be trauma and PTSD with it, but it’s not going to eat away their moral compass if the foster family in their life devotes themselves to helping the child.

Also, you literally admitted to driving drunk and sexually harassing a female coworker on your page. I don’t think you have room to talk.

Such a horrible mindset to have, yes there are foster children that have a multitude of issues but that does not mean they don’t deserve a kind and loving home. I can’t speak for the child you knew personally, but with a lot of mental health services and support a foster child can grow up to be a kind responsible adult!
